Overcomer

We need more than mere belief 

For the godly will suffer 

We can't avoid times of grief 

That hour when there's no relief 

God searches for overcomers 

A word not spoken much of 

Yet Jesus mentioned it often 

We hear messages about love 

Sermons like a harmless dove 

The Word of the Lord they soften 

In Revelation two and three 

See the Christian's greater call 

Overcoming is the key 

Then we will truly be free 

We will takeoff and not stall 

Overcomers in the land 

Who are not living double lives 

Who obey God's command 

Built on the rock and not sand 

That is the heart God revives
